Off to a flying start
Flying Foil was launched as an independent company today. A spin off from the Department of Marin Technology at NTNU, the inventors and founders, John Martin Kleven Godø and Jarle Vinje Kramer, wishes to reduce both operating costs and emissions from high-speed marine vessels by using hydrofoils.

Advanced simulation techniques, modern flight control systems and electric propulsion are some of the secrets behind the company's solution. They develop technology for all types of high speed boats and ships, but their current main focus is on high-speed passenger ferries.
